NOTES.

In the opinion of the CaltiUdtor il is mis-
take 10 fatten sOws for killing after their first
or second litter of pigs. Yes. in most cases this
will be great mistake. The litters improve
In size and quality as the SOW grows older. If
she Is good mother, her milk will also in
crease until she is three or four years old, and
has got all the growth of which she is CAPABLE.
There Is usually great waste in feeding
soft corn, by which is included the nubbins
having more or less sound grain on them. If
thrown TO hogs as IS usually done, the nutri-
ment IN the cob is lost, and there is a good deal
OF 1t where the corn is not fully matured. If
put up in narrow bins, made with Stats so that
air can circulate through them, they will soon
dry out. Cows will eat them, cobs and all
Sheep are very fond of the sweet sap of
the maple, and will drink of it so that it will
weaken and iniure them. If ewes with lamb
are allowed access 10 sugar orchards while the
sap is being gathered, it will often cause them
TO abort. The danger is not very common
now, but this fact, which early settlers in
maple districts learned by costly experience
may be OF value to some of their successors.
The great profits from sheep cannot be
made by farmers who do everything in the
grand wholesale way. No animal requires
better care and closer attention than the
sheep. Even with these it is difficult to keep
large numbers together and have them do we'll
The small farmer can keep few, give them
the best care, and by growing and selling early
lambs, make more money head than the
largo sheepgrower can with his extensive
hocks.

GRASS AND CLOVER.

No time is to be lost in sowing grass and
clover seed. Now or never is the time for this
work if it is TO be done this Spring. And when
the seed IS sown il should be followed at once
by liberal dressing of the complete artificial
manure, which contains all the clements of
stable manure and plant food. On a visit to
Kentucky some time ago the writer saw more
attention given 10 grass than in any other To-
cality known to him. The farmers in that State
grow more grass seed than any Others, some
having as much as 1000 bushels of orchard
grass, blue grass, or red-top seed to sell. There
are more varieties sown there, too, than else
where, for in addition To these kinds mention
cd meadow fescue. called English blue grass, is
grown for pasture and seed quite largely, and
Pacey's perennial rye grass is found in large
fields. The result of all this grass is seen in
the magnificent horses and cattle which pas
ture on these broad meadows. and which turn
these grasses into money, which brings wealth
into the State.

Clerks of Glass Four.

EDITOR CRITIC: Your correspondent who
signs himself ~" in your issue Of yester-
day, intimates that there seems to be mis-
apprehension as to the failure of the Civil
Service Commission to apply the new rules
to the fourth class clerks. lie says that,
having attained the highest grade in the
classified service, they cannot be promoted,
and hence should be exempt. Clerks o
the lower grades are required to be exam
ined, not for promotion, simply, but to test
their fitness for the work required Of them.
1t Is n wellknown fact that there Is more
incomI etency and dead wood ~ In the
1ouith-class clerks than In any other
grsdc-and whyS For the reason that they
were appointed under the old "spoils sys.
temh for services rendered the Republican
party, and possessed no special quallca-
lions, save being partisans. 1t is at least
tair that these clerks should be subjected
TO the deficiency" test, II no other. But
to discriminate In their favor, as against
their fellow clerks, who consttute the frank
and fle' of the departmental employees, is
simply providing an asylum, or "bomb.
proof,n for these incompeteHts beyond the
range Of the Civil Service Commission, aud
in direct violation OF the spirit of the law
itself. Many OF them, since the advent OF
this Administration, have been reduced
from political position, as every one knows.
